Chapter 179: I Heard the Second Elder Xue Kui Took in a Disciple
On the second day of arriving at the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.
Xiao Mo got up from bed early in the morning.
On this day, Xue Kui threw a wooden knife to Xiao Mo.
“Starting today, you will use this wooden knife to cultivate,” Xue Kui said casually to Xiao Mo on the mountaintop.
“The blade technique I’m teaching you is called the ‘Blood Demon Sword Formula’. When you cultivate the Blood Demon Sword Formula, you will definitely experience the piercing, bone-corroding pain of baleful qi drilling into your heart.
If you can’t endure it, you’ll turn into a pool of blood.
If you can endure it, your cultivation speed will be much faster than cultivators of the same aptitude.
Xiao Mo, your bone structure is good, but cultivating the Blood Demon Sword Formula isn’t just about having good bone structure.
This is an extremely domineering technique. If your nature is weak and your will is not firm, the further you cultivate, the more likely you are to succumb to qi deviation.
When that time comes, I will still kill you.
Furthermore, after you cultivate the Blood Demon Sword Formula, the greater your baleful qi, the greater the power of your blade technique.
And killing people is the best method to enhance your baleful qi.”
Listening to Xue Kui’s words, Xiao Mo frowned.
The corner of Xue Kui’s mouth curved up slightly, “Who you kill and how many people you kill is your business. As long as your cultivation progress meets my standards, that’s enough. I’ll say it again, if your realm doesn’t reach my expectations, I will kill you and won’t waste any extra effort on you. Do you have any other questions?”
“Before me, how many people died?” Xiao Mo asked.
“Taking disciples is a very troublesome matter,” Xue Kui said truthfully. “I’ve never taken disciples before, so you are my first disciple. Any other questions?”
“No.”
“Then start practicing. The first form of the Blood Demon Sword Formula, boy, watch carefully. I’ll only demonstrate once!”
After speaking, Xue Kui also picked up a wooden knife.
In the following days, Xue Kui would personally lead Xiao Mo in practicing the Blood Demon Sword Formula every morning.
Besides this, Xue Kui would also prepare medicinal baths for Xiao Mo every day.
At first, when Xiao Mo practiced the Blood Demon Sword Formula, the baleful qi truly made him wish for death, even more outrageous than when he drank the Dragon Thunder Liquid but every time Xiao Mo saw Jiang Xin standing not far away, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
And each time after Xiao Mo finished practicing his blade work, Jiang Xin would immediately run forward, take a towel to wipe his sweat, and massage his shoulders and back.
Jiang Xin knew she couldn’t do much, so she could only take meticulous care of Xiao Mo’s daily life.
Two months later, Xiao Mo entered the ninth layer of Qi Refinement.
Xiao Mo was amazed by his breakthrough speed.
For a moment, Xiao Mo couldn’t tell if it was because he was cultivating the Blood Demon Sword Formula, or if his cultivation talent in this life was ridiculously high.
After all, reaching the ninth layer of Qi Refinement in just two months, even approaching breakthrough, this speed was truly exaggerated but regardless, Xiao Mo could only bury his head and continue cultivating forward.
Xue Kui would set goals for Xiao Mo.
After cultivating for a period of time, Xiao Mo had to reach a certain realm, and the Blood Demon Sword Formula had to be practiced to a certain degree, otherwise Xiao Mo would be killed.
Fortunately, Xiao Mo’s talent was sufficient to meet Xue Kui’s requirements.
Sometimes even Xue Kui found it difficult to understand.
Why would this ten-year-old child’s mental fortitude be so strong?
But as cultivation accumulated day by day, influenced by the Blood Demon Sword Formula, Xiao Mo felt his murderous aura growing stronger and stronger.
Especially after each blade practice session, Xiao Mo really wanted to cut something, having an impulse to kill and see blood.
However, Xiao Mo desperately suppressed it.
On the seventy-fifth day of entering the cultivation path, Xiao Mo took the Foundation Building Pill, experienced the thunder tribulation, and successfully established his foundation.
The chasm that most cultivators might never cross in their entire lives, Xiao Mo had crossed in less than three months.
On the day Xiao Mo successfully established his foundation.
Xue Kui threw a Tang sword to Xiao Mo.
This was a fourth-grade magical artifact called the Spirit Absorbing Sword.
When Xiao Mo cultivated with this blade, it would continuously absorb the spiritual power within his body.
Moreover, the longer Xiao Mo held this blade while cultivating, the heavier he would feel it become.
“Starting today, you are a Foundation Building realm cultivator and can move around the Ten Thousand Dao Sect. It just so happens you can go to Ten Thousand Dao Town to buy me a pot of wine, the Sanglu wine from the blind man’s wine shop in the north of the city.”
After Xue Kui finished speaking, she threw Xiao Mo a bag of spirit stones and a wine gourd, then yawned and walked back into the courtyard.
Jiang Xin wanted to go with Xiao Mo but Xiao Mo refused.
After all, the Ten Thousand Dao Sect was a demonic sect. He should first go outside to see what kind of environment this demonic sect really was, and if he felt there were no problems, he would then take Jiang Xin out for a stroll.
Coming down from the mountain, Xiao Mo flew to the Ten Thousand Dao Town of the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.
Ten Thousand Dao Town was built on a small plain within the Ten Thousand Dao Sect.
Ten Thousand Dao Town was very large in scale, even two circles larger than ordinary dynasty capitals.
Inside there were wine houses, inns, gambling houses, and brothels, truly having everything, no different from the mortal world.
However, the courtesans at the brothel called “Ten Thousand Flowers House” in Ten Thousand Dao Town were much more beautiful than those in mortal brothels.
They were similar to cultivators from the Blissful Union Sect, proving their way through dual cultivation.
Walking on the streets, Xiao Mo attracted many sidelong glances.
Most of their gazes fell on the “Karma Blood Peak” token at Xiao Mo’s waist.
Based on Jiang Xin’s height, Xiao Mo bought several sets of clothes and also bought some pastries and candied hawthorn and other foods.
After all, during this time, Jiang Xin had been eating fasting pills with him, and her mouth was terribly bland.
Finally, Xiao Mo went to the north of the city and found the “Blind Man’s Wine Shop”, had the shop assistant fill the wine gourd with Sanglu wine, and then pulled over a chair to sit on the side but just at this moment, the conversation between two men at the neighboring table reached Xiao Mo’s ears.
“I heard the Second Elder Xue Kui took in a disciple?” asked a sword cultivator who looked elegant and refined, named Wang Weijun.
“Indeed so,” nodded the cultivator named Li Chen. “I was quite surprised when I heard about this matter. I didn’t expect that the arrogant Xue Kui Elder would actually take in a disciple.”
“Heh heh heh,” the sword cultivator named Wang Weijun sneered several times. “What do you mean arrogant? What does Xue Kui amount to compared to my master?”
“Ha ha ha, compared to the Great Elder, the Second Elder Xue Kui certainly doesn’t amount to much. But Brother Wang, Xue Kui’s figure and appearance, tsk tsk tsk…” As he spoke, Li Chen revealed the kind of smile that all men understand.
“Just wait, Brother Wang. Xue Kui previously offended my master and won’t have a good ending. When my master breaks through to Ascension and becomes the next sect master, he’ll take her as his forbidden concubine. As my master’s last disciple, perhaps I might even be able to…”
But just as the two men’s words reached halfway, their minds suddenly tensed, and they immediately left their seats.
“Bang!”
A blood-red sword qi shattered the tables and chairs to pieces.
